svnsettia | i'm learning html

today i started learning html on codecademy because i want to have more control over formatting on dreamwidth and emails! penpalling (both email and snail mail) is one of my favourite hobbies, so i want to get better at making my emails look nice.

i want to try out/show off some things i learned! such as:

how to make a list
how to bold and italicize text (i already knew how though!)
i didn't learn this from codecademy; i already knew it from tumblr, but ~~strikethrough~~
how to use commands like <body>, <div>, and <p>. dreamwidth seems to not like those commands though.

i also know how to add images and videos! here's a gif i like:

i think that i've already absorbed some very basic/common commands just by messing around with html makers as i try to embed little gifs into my own dreamwidth posts. i was also exposed to some snippets of html while following "how to edit your tumblr theme" tutorials in the 2010s. i learned how to edit (but not create) css codes on myspace in 2021, so that's also been somewhat helpful as i start to approach html.
